Recordation Process
TO RECORD A RESTRICTIVE COVENANT MODIFICATION:
- A title company, escrow company, county recorder, real estate broker, real estate agent, or other person submits to the Yolo County Clerk/Recorder:
- Completed Restrictive Covenant Modification Cover Sheet.
- A complete copy of original document containing the potentially unlawful restrictive covenant language stricken.
- Both documents will be submitted to County Counsel for review and the unlawful restrictive language determination. The review process may take up to 90 days.
- If County Counsel agrees that the language is discriminatory, they will sign the Restrictive Covenant Modification.
- Once signed by County Counsel, the Restrictive Covenant Modification is recorded at no fee.
TO OBTAIN A COPY OF YOUR CC&RS:
Typically, you receive a copy of your property's CC&Rs from the title company when you purchase your home. If you recently purchased a home and did not receive a copy of your CC&Rs, contact your title company for assistance.
You may also obtain a copy of your CC&Rs by performing a document search. See Obtaining Copies for details to purchase.
